Weekends Fit for a President

I wish I could

Camp at David’s

Every time

There’s some

War.

-         Walk the dog

-         Drink some beer

-         Hi tech amenities

-         - Removed from fear

-         To sleep like a log

-         Awake like I’m blind

-         No needs unserved

-         A kind of Tex-Arkansas nerve

And, if it were me

What I’d truly want

Is world peace.

Especially in

The Middle East.

And my backyard.

And your backyard.

And those backyards

-         like junkyards –

Full of rusted cars.
